Dissatisfaction Among CoIored Soldier,

DISQUALIFICATION Among ColOred Soldiers.
Some time ago charges were preferred
to the Adjutant General Of the State
against William II. Bannister, captain OF
the Richmond Light Infantry. TIE al.
legged misconduct was in connection with
certain money matters Since then the
soldiers have refused to drill under Ban
mister until the charges shall have been
investigated.
Despite this fact Bannister on Thurs
day night went to the Armory determined
to assert the authority vested in him by
virtue Of his office.
The company was engaged in drilling
under the command of Lieutenant w. b.
Scott, and paid no attention to Bannis-
ter's being present. Shortly after enter
ing, Bannister took gun away from one
of the men in the ranks, saying that he
was not member of the company. Scott
attempted to take the rifle away from
Bannister. A lively scuffie took place,
but no blows were passed.
Both parties were arrested, carried to
the Second station house and bailed for
their appearance before the police court
Yesterday morning. Bannister was
charged with trespassing upon the ar
mory, and obstructing the regular COM
pany drill Scott was charged with as
saulting and attempting to beat William
H. Bannister.
After fully hearing the evidence the
police justice dismissed both cases.

A CIVIL PENSION LIST OF FED
ERAL JUDGES.

The Law Of Congress which provides
that Justices OF the L ) Courts eau
retire at the age of seventy Years after
at least ten years service on the bench,
on full pay, establishes civil pension
list which applies To no otncr branch
of the civil service.
This " one reason for the adoption Of
the uuwrilten rule of The senate Judi.
ciary Committee uol 10 report in favor
of the conformation of any nominee for
the position of L : Judge who is over
60 years Of age.
The Senate contends that the e.tib
lisbment of the judicial retired pension
list is an expression hy Congress that
the county expects the services of its
justices for at least ten years of con.
tinuous duty prior To the 10 years age
clause, when they can retire on full
pay. If a person Is nominated aud
confirmed as L. 5. Judge who is over
60 years of age-say Go years, as an
illus;ratlon-he cuunot retire on full
pay Till he has served ten years on the
bench. making him at that time IS
years of age.
Should such judge at any time after
he has reached seventy years and be-
fore his ten years of service. become
incapacltated-and old age does often
bring on sudden inflrmities-he re.
mains an incubus till the ten years have
elapsed, when he can retire on full pay
pension. The case of Justice Ward
Hunt Is an example. He was relieved
from the bench only by a special &c
of Congress.
Otherwise, incapacitated as he was
he would have remained till the expi
ration of ten years would have permit
ted him to retire on full pay.
While many Justices of the Suprem
Court are and have been In full menta
vigor at over seventy years of age, the
Senate rule Is considered wise In de
manding at least ten years of service or
the bench prior to reaching seventy
years.
